'''Owlbears''' are a type of [[List_of_Creature_Types#Beast|Beast]] [[List of Creature Types|creature]] found in [[Owlbear Nest]] in [[Act One]] as an optional boss fight. Resembling large feathered bears with the head of an owl, they are quick to anger, extremely strong and seemingly constantly hungry. While highly territorial, its recent injury from the [[Cult of the Absolute]] has left it notably weakened. | |||

While the ''' | While the '''Owlbear''' can not make [[Critical Hit|Critical Hits]] because of its recent injury, it is still a powerful and dangerous creature. Many of its abilities focus on knocking others [[Prone (Condition)|Prone]], such as Crushing Flight, allowing it to ensure successful hits. When taken to half health, its rage ability will trigger, increasing its damage further with both increased [[Strength]] and [[Multiattack]]. It will also have the support of the [[Owlbear Cub]], though it is best to ignore the cub if you plan to recruit it later on for your [[Campsite|Camp]]. | ||
However, because of the injury | However, because of the Owlbear's injury, it is far easier to sneak up on it as it has [[Disadvantage]] on [[Perception]]. A more direct approach can use [[Andrick]] and [[Brynna]] to help in the fight if convinced, who, acting as soft targets, can be useful distractions and support. Spells, items or weapon abilities that require a [[Dexterity]] [[Saving Throw]] like [[Grease]], [[Grease Bottle]] or [[Topple (Weapon Action)|Topple]] are quite effective in slowing it down. When it is enraged, it is best to finish the fight quickly before its multiattack shreds through the group. | ||
